The Pursuit of Movement (Month 1 Results)

Well, this first month was quite interesting. The initial excitement of having something new to learn was quickly crushed by the realization of how weak, inflexible, and unbalanced I was.

Just kidding. It wasn’t all that bad.

Basically, when you start anything new you have a plan and you follow it with the faith that you will improve. Trust in your research, trust in your ability, and above all trust that natural order will prevail. Your body is built to adapt, and it will acquire these new movements if you practice with enough awareness and consistency.

Alright, pep talk’s over. Here are my results from Month 1:

1. Handstand

NOTE: There’s not really a rave going on. It’s just the lighting distortion from using the rapidshot feature.

Mostly did wall assisted handstands this period. Body line drills facing the wall were especially helpful.
